CAP499 IGEP Capstone

3 credit(s)

Grounded in the Lasallian and Catholic traditions, Capstone culminates the Integrated General Education Program and the undergraduate experience at Saint Mary’s. It invites the comprehensive application of intellectual flexibility and imagination, identity development, community engagement, social responsibility, and a continued search for meaning, while revisiting the themes of Place, Purpose, and Well Being by realizing them in action through a community engagement project. Interdisciplinary teams of students, with the support of a faculty mentor, apply their thinking and efforts to real-world problems and issues, collaborating to address a real problem through the application of scholarship, research, and community engagement. Teams present their findings, solutions, and suggestions for continued work in a Saint Mary’s community public setting, and individual learners reflect on their integrative development and personal growth. 

This course serves as the capstone for Saint Mary’s Integrated General Education Program. While not all courses from the Integrated General Education Program need to be taken before attempting the Capstone, it is expected that the courses which came before will be resources that are channeled into the Capstone experience. Students will also complete their IGEP Portfolios in this course. Prerequisite: Senior standing.
